JOSE MOURINHO needs to set his team up to stop Arsenal getting into a rhythm, according to Tony Gale.
Mourinho has never lost a Premier League game against bitter rival Arsene Wenger but his Manchester United side head into Saturday’s clash six points behind the Gunners.
Arsenal are bang on form having not lost since the opening day while, in stark contrast, United have managed just one win in their last five games.
Mourinho attracted criticism for his defensive system in the 0-0 draw at Liverpool last month and former West Ham and Fulham defender Gale thinks similar tactics on Saturday could work a treat.
“It’s very difficult to get amongst a team now with the rules as they are,” Gale said on Sky Sports.
“In days gone by maybe you could set up a physical type of game, get amongst players, make your first tackle count, give them a rattle but it doesn’t really happen now.
“It’s all about pressing and intercepting.
“I think what he’s got to do is make it very difficult for Arsenal to play their own game.
“Once Arsenal get into a rhythm they’re very difficult to stop.
“You’ve got to upset the rhythm rather than the physical side of it.”
